Close your eyes and imagine being stripped of everything you have ever known. Everything you have worked so hard for vanishes before your eyes. You are made to wear a symbol on your arm that designates you as inferior. Your value as a human is equaled to the value of a sewer rat. People can call you names, inflict punishment on you, or even kill you without a cause. Your friends have been taken from their homes, babies and all, and been exterminated. There are rumors about huge death camps where people are being mass murdered by gassing. You know that it is only a matter of time before you and your family are taken to be killed. How do you save your family from death? Who do you turn to, when everyone is your enemy? This scenario is not fictional; it was a real time and real place that existed. The Jewish people were made to suffer tremendous atrocities by Nazi Germany during WWII. The questions that I posed were many that Otto Frank tried to answer as a father who wanted to protect his family from death. His decision was to go into hiding. []
